Nope.  Still haven't found it yet.

Oh well, maybe next time I read this thread, there'll be pictures and full documentation.

Not yet, still in Nebraska.  Gotta wait for the house to be built before I can move down to Florida.  Hope to start school in the spring semester of 2010

I had a 72 also, I'm not sure what kind of engine it really had, Has anyone ever heard of a ball stud Hemi, I never heard of one either, I thought it was someone's idea of a joke so I parted it out, I think the engine is out in the barn somewhere, It has big valve covers but the spark plugs don't go through the valve covers like a 426, The valve covers were painted with black krinkle paint, My car was like Al's, it had a 4-speed and a Dana 

Has anyone seen my sarcasm detector?........I know it's lost in this thread somewhere.....hmmmm.... Bueller? Bueller?

It was the only 72/74 ralley dash car I had ever seen with an 8k tach.


My car '72 Challenger  has an 8K tach from the factory.  It has a '70-'71 style Rallye dash as it was an early '72, Schedualed build date=8/17/71.  :grinyes:  Fuzzy blue dash was a owner installed item!  :rofl:

No joke..., and NO it doesn't have a Hemi!!!!  :grinno:

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Bump, because I swear I seen this car on the road the other day.  Seriously!  It was sitting at a stoplight, and when the light turned green, the guy floored it.  Then, after it hit 88 mph, it just disapeared, leaving a trail of flaming tracks behind it!

I own this car. It is being stored, and it's not forsale.  It only has 2100 miles on it.  It is a convertible mod top and came with 71 gilled fenders.  I ordered it in june of 71.  I didnt pick the car up till oct 71 because of the top.
